This type of research is experimental research with a quantitative approach. The sample number of studies was 30 students who were divided into two groups. The research instruments used there are self-acceptance and body image scales. The data analysis method used in this study is statistical analysis is Paired T-test samples. The results showed a value of P = 0.000 (P <0.050) and resulted in a value of P = 0.000 (P <0.000) in the body image of the experimental group. While in the results of self-acceptance the control group using the sample paired t-test resulted in a value of P = 0.000 (P < 0.050) and produced a value of P = 0.000 (P < 0.000) of the body image scale of the control group. This suggests that subjects using perceptual retraining with mirror experienced increased self-acceptance of negative body image.
